TIE AoUEDCcT BRIDGE QUEsT1oN:-The proposed
draw III the AQueduct bridge was discussed at the
meeting OF the West Washington citizens com
mittee held last night. The bridge committee re-
ported that Col Hams had estimated that it would

The committee was requested to wait upon the
District Commissioners to urge them to assist in
getting the matter properly and promptly before
action would be taken upon the bridge this SEES

the matter OF draw has been allowed to delay

and the necessity for draw is not generally ad-
mitted. One citizen with large commercial inter-

OF draw, as there was no point above the bridge
where a wharf for vessels could be constructed
